Chemical Structure

Atomoxetine EP impurity B CAS 105314-53-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Atomoxetine EP impurity B is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Atomoxetine EP impurity B (CAS 105314-53-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H21NO, MW 255.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C17H21NO, Atomoxetine EP impurity B contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 255.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
